Yeah, true, this is not going to work if there are multiple amplifiers
that are registered for a same link.
Multi-DAI codecs are not so clear to me. I thought codecs are exporting
different controls for different DAIs? Like "foo Playback Volume" and
"bar Playback Volume".
But anyway, I'll try to look some better idea.
